Financial Expert Sends XRP Price Warning: “I Literally Can’t Believe My Eyes”

As uncertainty continues to weigh on the cryptocurrency market, investors remain focused on whether digital assets have reached a bottom or if additional downside still lies ahead.

While concerns over monetary policy continue to influence market sentiment, some analysts believe the current environment could present an opportunity rather than a warning sign.

In a tweet, financial expert Levi Rietveld voiced optimism about XRP’s potential, accompanying his post with a video in which he explained why he believes the asset is approaching a market bottom and outlined why a potential interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve may not derail its longer-term recovery.

According to Rietveld, XRP’s daily chart suggests that the asset has already fallen considerably from its all-time high and may now be approaching the final stages of the current downturn. He said the market appears “super close” to establishing its bottom, even as expectations remain for at least one interest rate hike during 2026.

Rate Hike May Mark the Bottom, Not the End of the Cycle

Rietveld pointed to the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook, noting that officials remain divided over the possibility of rate cuts this year. Based on current expectations, he believes the most likely outcome is a single rate hike rather than a series of increases.

He maintained that such a move would be manageable for the cryptocurrency market. To support his view, Rietveld looked back at the events of 2022, when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates during the previous bear market.

According to him, XRP reached its market bottom shortly after those rate hikes despite widespread fear and heavy selling pressure. He recalled that prices remained relatively stable for a period, even as additional rate hikes followed, before the market eventually entered a powerful upward trend.

Rietveld emphasized that XRP’s strongest rally began before interest rates were actually reduced, suggesting that markets can recover in anticipation of improving economic conditions rather than waiting for policy changes to occur.

Investors May Have Limited Time to Buy at Lower Prices

Based on those historical comparisons, Rietveld believes the current market could follow a similar pattern. He expects a possible rate hike to help establish XRP’s bottom before the asset begins another upward move.

He added that the period during which XRP trades near its lowest levels may be brief. Referring to previous price action, he noted that the bottoming phase lasted only a few weeks before prices started climbing again and eventually reached significantly higher levels.

While Rietveld acknowledged that XRP could briefly fall below the $1 level, he said that possibility would not change his investment approach. Instead, he encouraged investors to view any additional weakness as a buying opportunity, stating that disciplined investors should take advantage of market dips whenever they occur.

Although his outlook remains a personal market assessment rather than a certainty, Rietveld believes current conditions resemble the early stages of the recovery that followed the 2022 bear market. In his view, if history repeats itself, investors may have only a limited window to accumulate XRP before the market begins its next sustained advance.
